All Wheel Drive (AWD) delivers engine
power to front and rear wheels for
maximum traction. AWD is useful when
extra traction is required, such as when
driving on, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:

[Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging off-road
conditions.

[Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.

[Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.

[The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.

[Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.

[In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
WARNING
If the AWD () warning light stays on
the instrument cluster, your vehicle
may have a malfunction with the
AWD system. Whenever the AWD
(
) warning light illuminates, have
the vehicle inspected by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products as
soon as possible.
NOTICE

[Do not drive in water if the water
level is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.

[Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you
move slowly until you feel normal
braking condition is returned.

[Shorten your scheduled
maintenance interval if you drive in
off-road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in chapter 9).

[Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.

[Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.

[Make sure that a full time AWD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow
truck.
